So What Does Dance Have to Do with It? Using Dance to Teach Students about Leadership*

Dance is a common metaphor in both the change and leadership literature. However, can dance, a movement art, actually be used to learn about leadership? The answer is yes and this exercise shows you how. Dance as an instructional strategy allows the instructor to tap the cognitive, affective, and conative components of the brain.     

Research Management for Selectivity and Concentration - With What Effect?

There have been three research assessment exercises in British universities in 1986, 1989 and 1992. Average scores have risen over the period which is usually interpreted as showing how research performance is improving. However, it also means that universities with the highest ratings progressively receive a smaller share of the total research funds available. In 1992 over a hundred additional institutions were included in the exercise and this further diluted the research allocations.     

Combining school attendance with home-based interventions for autism

Despite the increased parental involvement in interventions for autism over recent decades, and the wide variety of home-based interventions which now exist, little is known about how these fit in with school attendance. Families' use of one intensive home-based intervention, the Son-Rise Program, was examined through a one-year longitudinal questionnaire and interview study. Issues relating to school attendance were examined, including parents' decision-making processes regarding concurrent school attendance, issues of compatibility between home and school, and issues arising for those families who discontinued school attendance in order to run a full-time intervention at home. Rather than using the Program exclusively and intensively, it was found that many families used the recommended intervention techniques part-time in the home whilst continuing their child's school attendance, and found the two learning contexts to be compatible with each other. Parents also identified a number of ways in which compatibility could be further maximised.
